I remember hearing (from my engineering physics 2 prof) that Newton died a virgin and also was an alchemist. I also heard (from my calc prof) that Newton was deathly afraid of falling into the infinitesimal space between his foot and the inside of his shoe. And also that he liked to torture people and wasn't very pleasant.

I seem to recall Newton was something of an occultist. Einstein and many other scientists share beliefs in supernatural entities. Does that really effect the value of their work?
